3 Key Takeaways
- Legal Turbulence: Both the City of Orlando (which owns and manages Lake Eola Park) and the drone show producer, Sky Elements, could face civil—and potentially criminal—liability.
- Preserving the Evidence: Attorneys for the injured child are likely to send a demand for all drone data and internal software records to remain untouched, as any self-investigation by Sky Elements may compromise evidence.
- Safety vs. Spectacle: While drone light shows can be thrilling family entertainment, concerns over mysterious “rogue drones” and this tragic accident underscore the growing urgency for stricter oversight and public safety measures.

ORLANDO, FLORIDA – Lake Eola Park, the pride of downtown Orlando, transformed into a holiday wonderland on Saturday evening. Families of all sizes congregated for a drone light show by Sky Elements, a Texas-based company owned by Rick Boss. The spectacle started flawlessly, with dozens—if not hundreds—of drones painting festive colors across the night sky in synchronized formations.
But just minutes into the display, spectators gasped as a wave of drones appeared to malfunction mid-air. Several of the glowing devices spiraled downward, some crashing into the trees, others dangerously close to the crowd.
In the midst of this high-tech chaos, 7-year-old Alexander was struck squarely in the chest by a falling drone. According to his mother, Adriana Edgerton, the force was severe enough to render him unconscious within seconds.
“My daughter was screaming for help, and when I got there, Alexander was on the ground, not moving and covered in blood,” Edgerton recounted tearfully to local news outlet WESH.
“The blade cut his mouth, and there’s an actual imprint of the drone on his chest,” she continued. “We later found out it damaged his heart valve, and doctors rushed him into surgery. This was supposed to be a fun night for our family—now we’re dealing with every parent’s worst nightmare.”
Paramedics at Lake Eola Park quickly provided first aid before transporting Alexander to a nearby hospital. There, he underwent hours of open-heart surgery. Family members report that while Alexander is in stable condition, he has a challenging road of recovery ahead.

Spotlight on Liability:
Lake Eola Park is not just a landmark—it is directly owned, managed, and legally overseen by the City of Orlando. Because the city permitted this event and presumably vetted Sky Elements, legal experts say Orlando could be held liable for failing to ensure adequate safety precautions.
Public records and the city’s official website confirm that Lake Eola Park is under municipal management. It has a historical legacy as public land gifted with the intention of open community access.
